American billionaire Elon Musk, who will lead the Department of Government Efficiency in the new administration of US President Donald Trump, is being allocated offices within the White House complex, in close proximity to the next US president.
Source The New York Times with reference to two informed sources, as reported by European Pravda Details According to the sources, the premises planned for Musk will be located in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, adjacent to the White House. The New York Times noted that this location will grant Musk significant access to Trump once he assumes office later this month.
The sources also stated that Musk discussed with transition officials the level of his access to the West Wing, but this matter remains unresolved.
In addition, it is unclear whether Musks partner, former Republican presidential candidate and proRussian entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, will also have office space in the Eisenhower building.
Previously On 13 November, Donald Trump announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would lead the new Department of Government Efficiency, which, despite its name, is not a government agency.
In recent weeks, Musk has shifted his focus from US politics to European affairs, targeting leaders of Germany and the United Kingdom with personal insults and publicly supporting farright movements in key European countries.
On 13 January, reports emerged that former Trumps Chief Strategist Steve Bannon vowed to do everything possible to block Musk from joining the future White House administration.
Background Recently, Musk insulted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a post on X Twitter after Trudeau ruled out Canada becoming part of the United States, which has been a recurring theme in Presidentelect Donald Trumps remarks lately.
Also, Musk wrote on X Twitter, Steinmeier is an antidemocratic tyrant.
This post came in response to criticism of German President FrankWalter Steinmeier by influencer Naomi Seibt, who is linked to the farright Alternative for Germany AfD.
Musk publicly urged voters to support German farright parties and even wrote an opinion column in their favour for Welt am Sonntag.
Musk, along with an advisor to US Presidentelect Donald Trump, criticised the US calls for Ukraine to allow conscription from the age of 18, which had been earlier reported by the Associated Press AP news agency.
